Tracy, I can't make it to the sauna, but I did sunbathe for a few hours today... a definite cleansing and energizing yet super sedating (strange, huh?) experience after de-cluttering like a crazy woman all morning. DD is going down for a nap now and I'm planning to finish cleaning and organizing- maybe take a shower with some essential oils or something. DP asked to TTC in May... a big move ahead of us again and so many positive things are happening for us just these past few weeks. I'm VERY ready for a new map. I'm so awake and energetic, yet meditative and inwardly focused- if that makes any sense.

I requested tomorrow morning off work just for TM time...bring it on!

This may be a silly question, but if it begins tomorrow at 10:32 EST - being in Colorado, would I start a few hours earlier? Too lazy to look it up

And DD and I made some yummy solar infusions today... they're out in the sun as she naps... Red Clover Blossoms- here I come!

I put ALL relationships in the same area of my map the year I loosely followed the baguas. It worked, too, fwiw. I had a scene going on my map. Relationships (and a few other baguas) were on flowers. This is what I typed in my photo program for the relationship section of my map (I photographed each section).

Not a silly question at all!

Jumping in since it appears that Tracy's away from the computer (or at least away from MDC!) ... yes, in Colorado and zones west of the EST, you adjust accordingly, because astrologically speaking, the New Moon rises at the exact same time no matter where you are on the globe (if I'm remembering correctly).

I don't know if all of Colorado is on the same time zone, but I looked it up for Denver: 10:32 EST = 8:32 a.m. Mountain Time.

And *waves hello at Tracy* ... Yep, it's Aries New Moon Time, time for my annual, brief return to MDC to visit Tracy and the rest of the TreasureMappers, bringing a few new friends with me again, here and to your astroblog. Thank you, as always, my dear, for sharing your wisdom on these matters with us. Can't wait to read how everyone's visions manifest this year! Whoo-hoo!

I work tomorrow afternoon and all day Monday and Tuesday, so I'm wondering when I'll have some good solid time to work on this. I think, to save myself some time, I'll head out tonight to get supplies and not touch them until tomorrow morning... that'll give me at least a few hours of TM time... My last 5 TMs, I've had all the time in the world to work on them... I guess my TM creative spurt will have to be intense and condensed this year.

I have two rooms left in my house to clean today. I don't think I 'm going to do it. I've spent most of the evening reflecting on family, in particular the family I don't really know. And now I feel a cleansing cry coming on, not one because of any emotion but just to release the emotion. I'm a bottler so it is required from time to time. And take a little more me time to just meditate and just be.

I hope you all get that time to do a little something for yourselves before you get to sleep tonight. Many blessings to you all as we close this year and greet the next.

I cleared my day tomorrow and I asked my dad to watch DD for part of the day on Monday. Woo Hoo!!! Bring on treasure mapping!

I think an epsom salt bath would be perfect tonight for me... This has been an amazing year for me on a very personal level and letting go has been the theme nearly the entire time.

I still don't quite feel ready for this year to end and for a new one to begin............ I have faith, though, that it'll all work out for the best and that I will have a creative burst in the first 3 days of TM time.

Good morning, ladies! YAY, it's TM day! Almost. It's 9am here. I've taken down my old map, smudged myself and my son and my house, and I'm about to take a shower. Having coffee right now. I hope the link to the new thread will be posted on here! Otherwise I won't get a notice!

I am excited to get on with the mapping. I did not realize that we were supposed to take down the old maps, I also saw a reference to burning them do we have to do that or can we put them away out of site.

Thanks!

Last years map has been amazing. The one area that had not been as fulfilled was house and kitchen remodel---out of the blue yesterday dh says it thing I am going to tear up the kitchen floor tormorrow!

Well, I take mine down. I want the energy of the new one. I don't burn them because I use foam board and I don't think that's environmentally sound, probably.

Now ds is saying he doesn't want to do one...and I know that's because he wants to play Nintendo all day On one hand, I want to forbid him from it, but if I do that, he'll have a bad (epic bad) attitude about TMing, which I don't think is good for TM energy, but on the other hand, I want to let him play as it's Sunday...gah.

I've found that TMing is kind of contagious. Once I have everything out, I'm flipping through magazines, got my glue stick and poster board, etc. my kids just naturally get drawn to it as well. No pressure, no forcing...it's just too much fun to pass up.

Wonder if TM time has started now or if it' in 9 minutes. We just switched to summer time last week and normally we are 6 hours ahead of EST.. So right now it's 4.23 PM here. Doesn't really matter though. We're soon off to my parents in law for dinner... And then I guess it's bedtime for three children before I can start my TM'ing....

I recycled mine. Whne I pulled out the old TMs (from previous years) one still held so much energy I didn't want to let it go. The other had none and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. DS ripped off the images he liked on the energy filled TM and then I was more than happy to put it in the recycle bin. It did take me three years to let go of that one TM though. :)

Why don't you compromise with him.... Two hours of TMing and then the rest of the day Nintendo-ing.

Well, he changed his tune and said he wants to do one. So I let him pick out a new magazine and he was all excited, and now that we're home he is playing DS again. I keep asking him from my room, where I'm cutting out things, "Do you want a picture of ____?" or "Do you want the phrase ______?" and he's saying yeah. I think he just is looking at the whole thing as work. He's VERY adhd and gets overwhelmed at The Whole Big Picture (of anything). I don't mind cutting things out that he might use, but I do want him to get in on doing the map itself. I keep reminding him how much he manifested from last year.

Where's the new thread? Is it up yet? ~Off to check right now~

My man is doing a map, too! I can't believe it! Maybe it's because he knows he was manifested from my map two years ago. AND, while he didn't do a map last year, he did write a very important thing that is meaningful to him on a sticky note, and that manifested bigtime. So yay!!!

haven't been on MDC for a long while, but have been doing TMs for a few years now. Started clearing things out in February and early March, then ended up with several fractures in my face at the end of March and had to have surgery. Going to be fine, but the recovery has taken longer than I expected; completely forgot about TMapping and just realized last night that it was already end of April. Looked up the dates and now I'm wondering if I can still do it?

Tracy or anyone else, any advice? if I can still do it, any certain time in the near future that's better?

hmmmm. normally, i would say, wait a year until aries new moon 2012. but I am feeling differently about this moon. With Uranus in Aries and the Mercury retrograde..... go ahead and make a map. let's see what it brings you. keep me updated either on this thread or through a PM. I would like to follow the results. good luck.
